A number of readers let us know that Reuters and others are reporting that Warner Brothers is canceling movie previews in Canadian theaters, starting with Oceans Thirteen. A Warner VP said, "Within the first week of a film's release, you can almost be certain that somewhere out there a Canadian copy will show up." Recently, the International Intellectual Property Association placed Canada on its Priority Watch List, along with the likes of Argentina, China, Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela. This community knows, thanks to Michael Geist, that the claim is mostly ficiton.

When I was young, I encountered a dangerous divinity, and I would not like to give an account to anybody of what at that time ran across my soul -- of good things as well as of bad things. Thus, I learned betimes to keep silent, and also that one has to learn talking, in order to be silent the right way: that a man with backgrounds has to have foregrounds, be it for others, be it for himself: for the foregrounds are necessary, in order to recover from oneself, and to make it possible to others to live with us.
